Just Bee - Art

It's no surprise, I love bees. I also love art and believe every home should be filled with original artwork. And guess what, you don't have to break the bank doing it.

OK, I didn't know the Honey Bee is the official insect of Georgia. L. Young's "Georgia Honey Bee on Canvas" above is bold yet whimsical. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! It would look great in a modern or vintage kitchen. Check out more of her gorgeous designs at Etsy and see if your state insect, flower or bird is showcased in her art.

The above painting, "Turquoise Bee" by Susan Najarian is so fun and can be purchased at Etsy (great price-point too). This artist might just like the color turquoise as much as I do... check out her other beautiful works. Perfect with modern decor.

This sweet paisley, polka dotted and striped bee by Acorn Soup would brighten any little girl's room. It's a great transitional piece that will go with many decorating styles. I think it would look best in a series with another bug (butterfly, dragonfly, or ladybug) and a paisley flower from the artist's collection on Etsy. Acorn Soup will also customize paintings to coordinate with your decor and color scheme. Gotta love that!

However, my favorite and most inexpensive "bee" artwork to date is by my six year old daughter. So simple, yet strong (or is that tree blowing over in the wind?). If you have a little budding artist in your home too, I highly recommend showcasing their work in your playroom, family room or child's bedroom. Below is an example of a fun art wall found at Pottery Barn Kids.
